I am totally new to WHS and after reading some information on disk extension I am wondering if my current installation is not optimum to maximize data recovery.
I have 4 2TB hard disks. Three are the green type (slow) and one is an WD black for good performance. So Vail is installed on the 2TB WD black drive consuming only 60 GB for the OS partition. I then added the remaiming partition to the storage pool.
Let's say the boot drive fails. Would it be easier to restore the VAIL OS image if the OS resided on a separate drive like 2.5" 320 GB drive for example (which still have laying around).
Also, I find it puzzling how difficult it is to understand where VAIL storages the data for computer backup and how much data was really backed up. I know the pie chart is still missing ... VAIL just seems to list the full capaciity of the drive that was
backed up not the actual data residing on the client pc/drive.
Also, I find it strange that I cannot access any of the cliet backup from the server itself. I have to go to one of the client PCs to look at the files...
